Diagnosis of a leakage in the PCV-System

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW Z4, 2008 BMW X5, 2008 BMW X3, 2008 BMW 528xi, and 2008 BMW 528i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A disconnection or leakage in the PCV-System is indicated by a rough or stalling engine and results in a reaction within the fuel system (fuel trim deviation).

In this case a fault code will be stored by the fuel system monitoring.
